PEAfcE, AND THAT QUICKLY There has-been a suggestion that the peace conference at Paris may take a vajeulion through the month of September because the delegates are weary. There should be no such thought. If some of the delegates are weary, they should resign; get out, or be kicked out. The men in the trenches on the battle fronts were weary. Our doughboys who went through the Argonne were weary. : And, as President Wilson said in his message on the high cost of living, Europe "is on the operating table;" it has been kept there three-quarters of a year, and nobody knows bow much longer , the operation will last. And it is becoming a question whether the patient can survive. - General Jan Smuts, who has taken a place among the foremost of living statesmen, declared that the continuance of the blockade since last Novemler had done more -damage than four years of war. With" the armistice the vast armed hordes began to dissolve and fighting gave place "to enforced idleness in which the, revolutionary spirit found fertile soil. The time has come when it is necessary to think even more of the life of the patient than of the success of the operation, which must not be protracted till the gangrene of Bolshevism spoils all. If there is any one on earth with any authority over them, the peace delegates at Paris ought to be told to get busy and keep busy, and to finish their work forthwith. ; And if Senator MeNary of Oregon and his brother Senators who have undertaken the task of getting the peace treaty ratified can get any action into the upper house of Congress, the world will owe them a great debt of gratitude. Peace is the paramount need now. 1 Universal peace. . And then the unscrambling of every single war activity. . ; ' The world must get back to work and down to brass tacks, with co-operation to the fullest possible extent in the work of recon struction in every country in the wide world. - . , The weary willies at Paris who want to take a rest make the whole, wide world tired. ' A i r DO YOU HAVE HEADACHES? You may say that you never saw better in your life and doubt that your headaches are caused by your eyes, but if the headaches occur fre quently you should hare. your eyes carefully examined to make sure. It is not poor eyesight that causes headaches as much as It Is the extra muscular effort and nerve strain re quired to produce clear vision. HENRY E. MORRIS & CO.

(The Pathfinder ) You have, to feel wonder and ad miration for the adaptability of the Democratic party, which can aow so docilely follow Wood row Wilsn. wherever he leads 'it, after it had for 16 years known only the voice of W. J. Biyzn as Its master's. The Republican i arty in recent years has shown a fatal lack of adap tability. Twice now it has thrown, away the presidency merely because Its two factions were each so headstrong and sel'ish that they would rather see the party lost than to yie'i an lach. - The nert president1?! campaign Is now only a year ahead and yet that paty is still manifesting1 this same fatal lack cf ability to hanronite end work together as unit and it has no prrellentis. candidate ia slr.ht. All it has to do !n order to give the next presidential election to the Democrats on a silver plate is to keep right on lust as It has been going. These arc hard words, but they are gospel. i', ;; V: . '". The country has had! a Democratic government by 'default for the last two administrations, and it is in for a third dispensation of the same sort as the political stars now indicate. It is not the. Pathfinder's business to tell the leaders of either party what they should do in order to win. The mission of this paper is to record his tory, not to make it. Out this does not prevent us from reading the signs of the times. And so we say to the G. O. P., gently but firmly: , "If you don't pull yourself together you might as well save the trouble of con testing next year's game and let the I Democrats make it 'three straight.' " Italy's normal consumption of coal is about 12.000,000 tons annually. Coal is imported aln-ost entirely from England and America, but during the war transportation was so difficult that many enterprises were forced to look to other sources for their heat and light. Facilities for establishing water power plants in Italy are abundant and from 1914 to 1918 electric com panies in Turin and Milan spent large suns on water power electric plants. Engineering experts believe that the country could save at least three fourths of Its coal consumption by the use of water power. Italy is not the only country need ing vast development of its wate powers. " American engineers have shown French engineers how they may make France an outstanding industrial na tion by the development of hydro electric power, so abundant in pos sibilities In her many rivers and mountain streams. Switze-land has only touched lightly her possibilities in this re spect. And Norway and Sweden. The United States will not come into her own fully as long as a loco motive engine in this country burns coal or crude oil. Thomas Edison recently said that electricity is the only thing in the United States that is constantly growing cheaper. The Willamette valley will not have reached her ultimate develop ment as long as a stick of wood or a pound of coal is used as fuel, or any piece of machinery is not harnessed to the water pwers that are running to waste down the slopes of the Cas cades and Coast l:ange, and through the fruitful vales that nestle all about the gerat central valley. s Electricity Is the thing. It is the transmitter of powe- and heat and light that will more anil more render the drawing of water and the hewing of wood mechanical as we progress towards greater com fort and convenience and wealth gene-ally and generously distributed for the good of all. cated some other reason than an ef fort to spread the abundant supplies of s producing season over the lean part of the year. 'Food Tranter Hit Acting on a telegram late tods from Governor Cox saying" that a Cleveland concern in order to escape possible prosecution- for hoarding was moving its meat products to warehouses In Chicago and destroy ing its records, the department of justice ordered the district attorney at Cleveland to look Into the matter immediately. All attempt to effect transfer of goods In storage, officials said, would be summarily dealt with. Seizure of a large stock of foodstuffs in storage continued today with re ports received of libels filed In Cleveland and Detroit and prepara tions for such action in many cities. The department was informed to night that the district attorney at Detroit had filed libels in three cases and seized approximately 10.460,000 eggs and 300,000 pounds or butter, all of which had been held in storage for some time. Judge Blames Holding Statistics announced by the bu reau of markets, showing a great in crease in the amount of food held in storage, were said by Judge Ames, assistant to the attorney general in charge of enforcing the food control law, to bear out the department's contention that a prime reason for enhanced prices was the holding of supplies from the market. "We are going to force these hoarders and profiteers to disgorge," Judge Ames declared, "wherever they are found to hold greater am ounts than are necessary for the conductance ot their business and the safeguarding of the food situa tion during the winter."

Phono graphs will be used by both the Re publican and Democratic parties In the approaching presidential cam paign, it is announced. the plan em bracing a program which will permit the residents of small towns and re mote hamlets to hear the speeches of eminent orators at the same time that the records are released In the large cities. The phonographic campaign will be opened on September 1. mhen rec ords containing utterances by Attor. ney General Palmer, speaking for the Democrats, and others yeglrtering the speech or United States Senstor Lodge, voicing the sentiments of the Republicans, will be released. These speeches will be reproduced at clubs, societies' headquarters, churches, noonday meetings and In the homes of the psrty workers. Monthly llelea PUnaed. Following the release of the speeches of Attorney Genersl Palmer and Senator Lodge, other records will be distributed monthly and It is ex pected that the meeting places and homes throughout the country will fairly echo and re-echo with the words of the orators as conveyed by means of talking machines. The ex. tent of the part which phonographs may play in the campaign can be e tlmated by the statement that two manufacturers of the machines are known to have more than 2.000,000 British Subject Killed by i Rlutinout Miners Is Report MEXICO CITT7jnly 2t.
